November 2024 Forecasts And Discussions

[Michael1]

This is all rain on the ski hills. Won't take much to erode the 1 meter snow depth.

In the name of God, Saint Michael and Saint George; I dub thee "Sir Killjoy of Weathercestrershire"

TWN released its winter outlook. It's calling for a colder than normal and snowier than normal winter for SW BC.

I'll believe it when I see it.

[AbbyJr]

Looks similar to some of the other's we've seen.


The focus of winter's fury will be in western Canada, where near-normal and colder-than-normal temperatures are expected to dominate this upcoming season.

British Columbia

A cold winter is expected across the province, with a heightened risk for periods of severe cold for the B.C. Peace region and arctic outflow events for the south coast region. However, the frigid pattern will relax at times, especially during December.

An active storm track should also bring above-normal snowfall to southern parts of the province, including Vancouver, Victoria, and Kelowna. Much of the south and central coast should see near-normal rain totals with a lower than normal risk for Pineapple Express events. Below-normal precipitation is expected for the north coast region.

However, above-normal snow totals are expected to extend into some areas with near-normal precipitation totals. The colder temperatures should result in less rain and more pure snow events, even across lower elevations.

A solid ski season is expected, including a strong start to the season, especially compared to last year. Snow totals in the alpine regions are not expected to be exceptional, but fewer rain events in the alpine regions should help to preserve the snow that does fall across the region, and colder temperatures will allow for more snowmaking opportunities.

Backloaded winter. Works for me if it means a cold January.

Euro looks pretty pineapply in the extended...

You mean Neets in his pink petites!

Ridge looks like it may start to retrograde at the end of the EPS.

Some of the other longer range models have hinted at this on and off the past few days.

Something to keep an eye on I guess.

Looks like they're going for a bit of a suppressed jet pattern too, with below average precip on the north and central coast. Would mean we could see a few battleground setups between the cold, dry air to the north and the warm, mild air to the south.

Not possible!

[wetcoast91]

Not possible!

Cold February, March and April

[VanCitySouth]

I would like there to be snow in the second half of December. My family is visiting from HK and some have never seen snow before.
Nito, pls ask your pineapple deities to grant this one wish.

[HarrisonSasquatchWx]

Kanukes are playing decent so who cares if it torches for now.
Bess is back Dumko will be back soon and JT hopefully soon l'm thinking mental health issues. We reached a low of 3c this morning in the central valley no hard freeze yet

[Hawk]

It took some warm AR’s to achieve that. Warm dry ridging, like what’s being modelled, will cause compaction but no big melt-off.

tell em Rubus!!

TWN?

[Catnip]

Perhaps still things to figure out as we head into December.
